The Adventures of Star Saver, known in Japan as Rubble Saver (ラブルセイバー), is a 2D platform game for the Game Boy. It is a quasi-sequel to the earlier Miracle Ropitt for Famicom.

Summary

[edit]
The player is standing on a platform that looks like Saturn.

A boy named Kevin and his sister Connie are forced to go inside an unidentified flying object by a group of aliens who are planning to invade the galaxy.[3] They are later exiled to a distant planet after refusing to engage in espionage for their side.[3]

Kevin finds himself stranded on a strange planet where nothing is familiar (and without his sister).[3] However, a mech called Tom Wolf that has a vast knowledge of telepathic skills saves him and empowers Kevin with the ability to take on the aliens' army.[3] This machine becomes an important ally in the battle to save Connie and stop the extraterrestrial invasion before it's too late.[3] The game forces players to fight strange aliens across the galaxy. Various power-ups can be collected to add to the mech's abilities. However, the mech is lost after a single hit. The game includes some surreal enemies like a domestic dog and musical notes.[4]

In the Japanese version, the plot is slightly different. Here, the player instead takes control of the sister who has to rescue her brother from the aliens.[5]

Legacy

[edit]

In 1992, Rubble Saver II was released in Japan. In Europe it was published by Infogrames as Max.
